    Had an early morning flight on Southwest and this was the most exciting breakfast option at the terminal. Husband and I always love getting something from Einstein bagels and haven't been disappointed before but this was the first time trying this location and not going to lie that bagel in the sandwich Was not fresh. I got the Santa Fe breakfast sandwich - it had the egg whites and turkey and cheese and the spread as well so that was all good there but the actual bagel itself felt quite stale. It was a bit too chewy/ rubbery and overall made the sandwich a little bit sad. The bagel is also supposed to be asiago but it didn't look like there was much asiago on top unless it had gone decolored from being baked too long ago. Husband bought the Pepperoni Chicken Sandwich with egg white added - first bite was a little bit underwhelming but the sandwich really grows on you! Quite a good large amount of chicken in there and the chia butter was also fresh and toasty which was beautiful! There was not super large amounts of sauce or anything, but everything went well together and it was a good sandwich. Also picked up one of the strawberry chicken salads to go. Nice to see that they have these fresh creative options to take on the go. It also had some almonds and cranberries in it so this was definitely another one of the items they put some thought into making. Just as a heads up, there is no dressing in this salad and I was a little skeptical at first about whether everything would go together (together even though I honestly don't use too much dressing myself) but there was no dressing needed here. Another good thing because it made it so much healthier! Another little downside here is that they wouldn't accept the coupon that I had that would give me a free bagel with the order. They said they don't accept coupons at this location.

    I ordered a bacon egg and cheese in a plain bagel and got egg and cheese on a plain bagel. Check your bagels. They take advantage that people are in a rush and don't check. CHECK!

    Quick service, average food, decent price. It was something decent to eat while waiting for my ride. Also the only food option I could find without having to shuttle to terminal 1.

    Absolutely pathetic micro sized bagel sandwich for nearly $11. Shrinkflation at its best, another restaurant to avoid.

    DATE: 15SEP2025, Approx. 1055.I haven't had Einstein bagel in over 3 yrs. I've been working overseas. I used to visit the one in Mission Valley by my home, almost 2-3 times a week! I saw the familiar sign and ordered the my usual Asiago bagel with ham/swiss/turkey. The food is always excellent! Coffee is also good and strong. However, what separates great establishments from the lousy ones is "Quality of Service!" I get it, you have a ready made customer base and you're in an excellent spot, catching hungry patrons just after checking in. But you still have to show a "friendly, welcoming" effort to greet customers! The person at the counter showed ZERO effort. No friendly greeting, ex., "Hello!", "Good morning.", "How can I help you?" etc. I made my order, she corrected me several times until she understood what I wanted. No eye contact, no friendly smile, minimal interaction. The counter wasn't busy during our encounter. She took my name, I paid (NO TIP!), a lot more expensive than I remembered! And, NO "Thank You, Have a great day, Safe travels" or anything. I always say, I'd rather visit an establishment with with good food with Excellent Service rather than return to one with great food and lousy service. BTW, the dining area was also dirty. Looking at previous negative reviews on Service, looks like Management have made very little positive improvement, if at all. Great Food, Lousy Service. Next time I'll just keep walking by...
